The footage features New Delhi DCP Sachin Sharma and Joint Commissioner of Police Deepak Purohit speaking with CJP spokespersons Saurabh Das and other organisers. During the conversation, the officers express concerns over the lack of preparation and caution that the gathering could become difficult to control if proper arrangements were not made.
According to the officers seen in the video, Jantar Mantar is not equipped to host large-scale protests without sufficient planning and crowd-control measures.
The police also point out that the organisers had failed to deploy enough volunteers to regulate the crowd, despite repeated requests from the authorities.
DCP Sachin Sharma is heard urging the organisers to ensure a minimum number of volunteers are present to assist with crowd management and help prevent any untoward incident during the protest.
The video has reignited discussion over the planning and security arrangements surrounding the protest, with the footage appearing to show police raising concerns before the event took place.
